a bit of snow and you all turn into a bunch of babies and the country cant cope. the entire country is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. get a flipping grip on life.

I would imagine all weathermen need to develop a thick skin – they are always remembered for getting it wrong and never when they get it right. So I doubt Mr Warner is too upset.

As for the weather – as usual it doesn’t take long for the schools to start closing does it? Fair enough out in the countryside, but why do places like Castlefields School in Bridgnorth have to shut?

Usual chancers taking the opportunity for some extra time off under the facile excuse of ‘health and safety’. Feather-bedded local authority employees should struggle to work the way most other people have to. How many bus services have been cancelled today? Not many I bet.

I am sick of this country coming to a stand still because of a bit of snow we used to have 6ft drifts when we were little and got on with it, other countries deal with it. GET ON WITH IT.

remember the good old days when motorists were equiped with wheel chains, old sacks,rugs a`shovel, a flask with hot drinks and a few bars of chocolate.

Seems to me most people have forgotten what snow is.
Beware – It does get so deep it can cover your shoes.

Jeepers – “Featherbedded local authority employees” eh? If working for a local authority is the utopia you seem to imagine it to be, feel free to apply for any of the many jobs advertised each week. If successful, then you’ll be entitled to make your observations instead of relying on the usual dated stereotypical claptrap as regularly seen on these forums.

As you may by now have guessed – I work for a local authority (I also work in the private sector). Guess what? I was in work at 7am this morning as were most of my colleagues. But hey, why let the facts get in the way of a good story?

re “Feather-bedded local authority employees should struggle to work the way most other people have to”. I’m one of the accused, I still managed to make it to Stafford this morning as did all of my colleagues.

John Smith,

The criticism of Mr Warner is that he regularly predicts extreme weather and it rarely happens. Inevitably, he will be correct once in a while, but that doesn’t make him immune to previous criticism.

i wish the tory boy would understand the science more and accept the problem on man made climate change like everybody else in the world does
